Christmas Card Outtakes

Yes, I actually made a Christmas card this year...early.  I addressed them, applied return address labels and the boys decorated some of the backs of the envelopes with rubber stamps.  

Then I gave them to Ed to stamp and mail.  If I have seen you, then I have probably given you our Christmas card - otherwise they are still in a bag at home.  Too late now?

The boys really do love each other and love being with each other.  

Christmas Morning

Christmas Eve as we were putting the boys to bed we told them they needed to go to sleep so Santa would bring them toys.  Brady said "Santa not come into my room"  I told him, "No, Santa is going to come and leave the toys in the living room."  His reply...  "No, Santa leave the toys in the playroom." 

Eamon woke up bright and early Christmas morning.  He came straight into our bedroom to wake us up - he wanted to see if Santa had come.  We went in to wake up Brady, but that sleepy boy didn't want to get up.

 Santa brought Eamon some "little Legos" as he calls them.

 Daddy was finally able to get Brady up.

The boys spent the morning playing with their toys.  

That afternoon Aunt Jen, Nick, MamaMarie, Papa and Uncle Ely came over for Christmas dinner and gifts.Unfortunately, the below three pictures are the only ones I took that afternoon.
